It's correct, at least if you plan to run Orca. I should think you
should still be able to run text consoles under FC6, but I haven't
looked at the why and howto of low memory installation with FC6 yet.
But, it's certainly not enough for satisfactory results in the gui. Keep
this old machine for text consoles, and look for something newer for the
gui.
